Ive tried to find out why the old Gibbons site has been tarmaced but drawn a blank.

yes, you looked a bit busy (as well as very dapper in your red jumper). we were sat on the comfy chairs just inside the door. the music was rather good we thought so will try and make it along next month too

came across this site

hackney news, seems less sensationalist than the hackney gazette, and less corporate mouthpiece that is the hackney council paper

The Gibbons site has now got a car park sign on saying £7.00 a day. Its being checked out to see whether it has planning permission for this use.

Gibbons was one of the icons of my childhood

Never went in the place, mind, it was just something about the look of the place.

no, it burned down by a freak accident, and let us never again suggest anything to the contrary

In a freak accident just after some new owners had purchased it. How unlucky can you get?
